Morgan Stanley has written down its revenue by $3.7 billion (about $2.5 billion after taxes) due to the deterioration in value of U.S. subprime mortgage-related exposures since August.The company said the writedowns would likely hurt its fixed-income business' fourth-quarter results, but that relative gains in other business lines may offset the concern. Morgan Stanley also said its subprime-related exposures will likely fluctuate further, but that it does not expect to provide any more updates before its regularly scheduled earnings reports.
